Knerten is called O'sis at home and is our first own import from Norway. His is a wonderful male and has a lot of qualities that I was searching for. Big ears and short closed coat. His ground colour is really good but if I may say so he could be a bit more black. He is really amazing to show at cat shows. He really show of his best qualities and also isn't the least interested in the males. He has only females on his mind.
In winter 2008 he became father to his first litter with our queen Amira, the F-litter. In winter 2009 he became father to three litters. One with a female from Jan Sjögren Aucuparia's Abyssinians with three kittens 2 ruddy boys and one ruddy female as result. Second one with our own queen Amira with three kittens. One ruddy boy and two ruddy girls C-litter. Last one is with a female from Marianne Eriksson Brunnbäcken's Abyssinians with one ruddy boy as result. He is now neutered for real after not responding to the chemical neutering as we hoped. I now know that if you are to use this method do it on a male that haven't been fertile a long time. He became much calmer not ready to fight when he meet the other cats but didn't stop spraying all together. We decied that it was time for him to be neutered and begin his show career from the beginning again with Umeå as first show.
He became the best adult Aby in my cat club AbSolut Kattklubb 2008 and on the 13th place (second best Aby in total) in the categori 3 chart for SVERAK 2008. His favorite place is between my husband and me watching TV especielly if there's an animal movie. Birds is very fun to watch or he likes to run like crazy through the house trying to get someone else to run and he can chase them. The laser pointer is so much fun even if he knows it's uncatchable he won't get tired of it.
He have had great success during 2009 as well and became firth best male in SVERAK with 258,68 points and totally second best Abyssinian male in Sweden according to SVERAKs chart. He is also best adult male in the Cat Club AbSolut Kattklubbs own competition of the year with full pot of 275 points (five best scores of the season).
Thank you Inger and Kåre Nave (Ingave's Abyssinians) for letting my buy him. He is so loved by us all.
